alsfarms Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hello Harm, I am very impressed with your Cleveland dust covers! The Iseki tractor looks like a well built unit. Diesel? Three point hitch? Cat looks familiar. Our neighborhood has a small flock of cats that just migrate around and chum up to everyone, including our feed dish! I like the addition of front hanging weights, on the front of your tractor, for draft work. I suppose that you are going to remove them so your loader can effectively be closer to the front axle resulting in better weight distribution? Are you going to build some extra ballast to hang on the back of the tractor for the times you use the tractor as a loader? Since I rebuilt my loader it is much more a pleasure to run, cuts much more evenly. etc. etc. What kind of updates can you share about COVID-19 in your area? We are certainly staying close to home...I mean at home or the farm. You an Anna take care and stay with your current low profile in the public eyes. It will be way better! My onions, that do not look real good because of very cold unseasonal weather for a few days, are "Yellow Candy" type. They are very good tasting onions and are good for long term storage in the cellar. I will be replanting a good share of the onion patch today or tomorrow. Thanks for your update.

alsfarms Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hello Harm, So far so good for my family and I. (no coronavirus)! What is you status on the Pandemic and the Cleveland? I am getting ready for my first seasonal irrigation by mid week. Regards, Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hello Alan, Not much going on here. Good to read that you and your family are OK. Anna and I are fine too. This is the 4th week we stayed at home. No visitors and no shopping, no problem for me, but Anna becomes a bit restless. The Corona situation in the Netherlands: according to the health authorities, the number of new cases and the death toll from Covid-19 virus, is decreasing slowly. But, due to Easter, there could be a time lag in recording. We will see tomorrow. Regarding the Cleveland, I made 12 nuts for the rear axle compensating gears. 3/8" UNF x 11/16" spanner width. One nut (bottom up) 12 Nuts Further, I have to mention a set back. At close inspection, the top rear spring leave (right side) showed a crack near one of the two eyes. I guess something went wrong with the manufacturing 😰. Looks to me they forgot to temper this leave after the hardening, the file test showed no marks what so ever... Well, long story short, at the moment no spring manufacturer has his business open. All closed by government order. I have to wait till the whole Corona thing is over. Next, as the temperatures are improving, painting the rear axle and the wheels (for the final coat). That means wet sanding 48 spokes etc. Most of you know what this means..... Next job will be, mounting the front axle and steering assembly. Regards, Harm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsfarms Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hello Harm and Larry, Glad to hear that all is staying well in Holland! As hard as it is when we almost get "house happy" just hang in there! I have used glass beads also for cleaning wood, however, one must be very careful or you can certainly "antique" the wood parts. I do sand blasting on the side and I have had folks bring solid old work furniture to me to clean and antique. I do it but it makes me CRINGE as I know what the end result will be and in my way of thinking....I do not like sand blast antiqued wood!

alsfarms Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hello Harm, Our state is one of few that does not have mandatory lockdown controlling us. We do have a mandate that no groups larger than 10, stay 6' away, stay at home if at all possible. Our Ut5ah economy is really stating to show some serious stress with the business folks pushing to relax the mandates so small businesses can get back to work. Maybe in a few more weeks we will be able to relax. Where I live there has only been 4 confirmed cases and they were across the county from us about 50 miles. My wife and I are being very disciplined to stay at home and out of site! I think Utah totally has a total of 27 deaths and total cases slightly above 3,000. We are no where near as bad as the metropolitan areas, like New York. Have you got Popeye arms yet from all your sanding? Regards, Al 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Very nice weather today, no wind, very sunny and a temperature of 70F. Ideal weather to paint the rear axle and wheels. As I prepared the axle and wheels during the last 2 weeks, everything went very well. Just some small runners, but no insects landing in the fresh paint...😊. Now waiting for the the paint to dry, will do the striping next week. Rear axle As you can see, the caps can not be removed of the axle. So I made 2 small 'gallows' to hang the caps at during spraying, just to keep them free hanging of the axle. Worked very well. Rear axle with small 'gallows'. Painted wheels. I use MIPA PU paint, its flows well and is not too expensive. Applied it with a HVLP spray gun. Two layers of paint, and everything was fine. In the past I used Dupont Centari, but that is hard to come by these days. Regards, Harm 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most buildings in my neighborhood are farms, and most of them are thatched. When these farms where build (around 1850) roof tiles where very expensive, thatching with reed was cheap. Now a days, its the other way around, roof tiles are (relatively) cheap and thatching is expensive (labor intensive). Regards, Harm 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hello Harm, Nice work with your hanging device for painting. Your HVLP system, do you throttle down a conventional compressor or do you have a dedicated unit? I also use a HVLP paint system and really like that you minimize over spray and runs. (puts paint on just a bit slower however). Are all the under parts of your Cleveland receive green? Regards, Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have one of the first HVLP spray guns (bought it 30 years ago), it also has a build-in pressure regulator, needed to stabilize the air pressure in case you use a long air hose. Its keeping the spray gun internal air pressure between 30 and 45 PSI. I am very fond of this spray gun, it has served me well over the years. Just one drawback, there are no parts (needles and nozzles) available anymore. Yes, the undercarriage is painted Moss Green (RAL 6005). As written in the the 1903 Automobile Review; the under carriage was painted Coach Green, with red stripping. The body was painted dark red, with green stripping.

Sloth Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Regarding the HVLP spray gun, I forgot to mention that the make is: SATA, type NR95 (the green one). I also have two conventional The Vilbiss spray guns, I use them not so often anymore. Further more, today I ordered the special paint for my Beugler pin striping tool. The special paint is a bit thicker than regular paint, and so much easier to apply (won't leak out of the Beugler striping tube). Problem with it is, that there are not many vendors around who have all the colors on stock. But I found one in Belgium, it should arrive end of the week.

Do you know the type and make of paint you use. I have used sign writing paint in the past. The paint, I think has been OK, it is more of an operator problem with me! When I have practised on a sheet of painted metal (an old door skin) the lines are fine. When I start on the proper job, a vintage motorcycle tank, I am not happy with the result.

Hello Mike, I use 'OneShot' striping paint, have good results with it. When I tried to learn my self striping (some 25 years ago), I experimented a lot with different kinds of paint. Car paint was useless for this purpose, to fluid. Household paint for wood, would do, but depending on ambient temperature, sometimes to fluid. Hammerite is OK but just a few colors to choose off. So in the end I used the OneShot paint (advised by a friendly coach builder) Regards, Harm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloth Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 To impregnate the wooden body of the Cleveland I ordered West Systems epoxy 105 + 206 slow hardener. I have read a lot about impregnating wooden bodies (yachts and cars), on a number of forums, and most of them advice West Systems. One drawback, its not cheap... but available at Water sports shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloth Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) At last, this morning (Monday) the package with the striping paint arrived! The delivery person told us, that the company was overwhelmed with packages. It got out of hand and they hired numerous (untrained) workers to keep the deliveries going, but most of the packages are a week or more delayed (so was ours). Well, as the weather is very nice, I started to stripe the wheels. First striping the felloes, now they are drying. Tomorrow I hope to stripe the spokes. First wheel partially striped (spokes will be done tomorrow) Four wheels done.

Mike Macartney Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Harm, I had a look at the tins of paint I had used for striping and I have tins of '1 shot' in white, but the green paint I used on the fuel tank of a 1920's Gamage was 'Wright-IT'.

Sloth Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) This afternoon, I continued the striping. Got it finished, that means that the wheels are ready for the tires. 😄 May be tomorrow? But I must say, putting new stiff clincher tires on the fresh painted rims makes me a bit anxious. So, first thing to do in the morning, lighting the shop stove and putting the tires in front of it. In the past I had good results by warming the tires a bit, when warm, they tend to be sightly more flexible. Well, we will see. Detail of striped spokes Striping completed My striping set How I came to do the striping myself. About forty years ago, I finished the restoration of a Ford Model A, 1931 Victoria. The restoration was started by my brother in law, but just before he could complete the restoration, he died (long and sad story). The car came into the possession of Anneke and me, and we decided to complete the work. One job left, was some striping, unfortunately we could not find a person would would do the striping. But, after I incidentally spoke with a coach builder, he told me, give it a try to do it your self. He also lent me a Beugler tool, and told me if you get the hang of it, buy a Beugler Professional kit with seven heads, so I decided to give it a try. And I must say, for an amateur the results where satisfying. My striping set consists of a Beugler Professional kit (30+ Years old now). The set has 7 different striping heads (different wheel width). Three guide arms, I made some extra guide arms, which at the moment are lost... Further, I use special striping brushes. The ones pictured are not in the best of shape any more, the left one is number 00, the right one number 000. But I must admit, that I used them -as far as I can remember- more than 25 years ago. I am sure, I need a lot of practicing, to get again the hang of it. The procedure I use: first I clean the spokes with M600 de-greaser, making sure I have a lot of kitchen paper sheets at hand, then start striping. When I mess up, I clean it with M600 and a sheet of kitchen paper. Discard the paper immediately, otherwise you may - absent minded- use it again, and that will leave you with a mess (how do I know? 🥵). Furthermore, there is not much to say about it, just take your time. Well one other thing, you really don't need much paint for this. For the 4 wheels, I just needed some 10 CC (0.61Cubic inch). After the work is done, the striping set must be cleaned very thoroughly. Be very meticulous with that, as the small striping wheel tends to stick very easily (get glued by some invisible remaining paint). Its is a hell of a job to free the wheel after it got stuck (again, how do I know? 🥵) -heads are rather expensive-..... For sheet metal I use magnetic tape as guide, but for narrow edges and small radii, I use it free hand.

alsfarms Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Jeff, It is good when someone simply learns a skill and then uses it in our hobby. Do I understand correctly that you used the more traditional "Brushes" to apply your stripping? My confidence is not high enough to try yo simply use a brush. I have one very artistic son who could do it and I have thought to encourage him to "sharpen" his skill and do my stripping for me. We will see how that turns out. Harm, Have you tackled the tire installs yet? I once waited until it was sweaty hot to install a set of 30 x 3.5 tires on a set of fresh powder coated wire wheels for a Model T. I held my breath every step of the way...and was lucky to not knock any paint off. When you get the tires on share a picture of your success!

Sorry to read about your lung problems. 40 Years ago Anna and I lived in a small village with a number of shipyards.
